[Client] LeaverBuster

Recently, I've been put into a 5-game low-priority queue. Although I'm incredibly frustrated about this, since I never leave or AFK intentionally and it is beyond my control, I'm not here to complain on that.

I joined a queue in ARAM, and waited the five minutes I should. Then, after that five minutes, I was placed in another queue for that actual game. At this point (while watching IEM Katowice) I decided not to play and watch the game, so I left the queue. After the game, I queue'd up again. Same process, 5 minutes for LeaverBuster, but this time, I got a message saying I failed to join queue.

I queue'd another time, did my 5 mintues (again) and played a game. After finishing the game, I got a notification saying I had four more games to play with the LeaveBuster low-priority queue. This is ridiculously unfair. If I wait one 5min time, I should ONLY have to do it 4 more times, regardless of whether or not I actually PLAY a game. This has been a very frustrating experience for me. I'd ask that you correct this immediately, since more than likely I'll be seeing this again for not joining an ARAM multiple times.

Thank you for your time.

The people would just the timer going, dodge game and go start the timer again while they do something else and the actual punishment wouldn't take effect. Unfortunately as frustrating as it is the most effective way right now to discourage AFK

I honestly think it is a fair concept, as it IS supposed to be a waiting queue time, and you left the game for yourself. If you would wait another 5 minutes because someone ELSE dodged it would be another story though.

It's a valid point, yes. If some really wanted to play, they'd have to sit there for 25 minutes before getting to, one way or another. Instead, they have to sit there for as many times as they cannot complete a game. If you wait the 5x5 minutes to get into a queue, you shouldn't have to do it again.

It's not really about teaching a lesson unless someone just quits a game on purpose, because that's the only type of person to punish. The "life-happens" and "my computer is shit sometimes" people aren't going to NOT do it again. Those are things that can't be controlled.

Also, it seems a little harsh for not completing and ARAM. Especially when I spent the whole game trying to reconnect.
